Hello!

If you are looking to improve your English skills, then the best way, I found, is through reading literature. A little over a year ago I sat down with a problem I couldn't shake. I've been teaching English for years — to students who work hard, who want to succeed, who know that vocabulary is the key to academic and professional life. And I kept watching them struggle with the same thing. Not grammar. Not pronunciation. Vocabulary. Specifically the kind of academic vocabulary that shows up in universities, in professional settings, in serious writing. And then it hit me. The greatest writers in the English language already solved this problem — 150 years ago. Dickens didn't write for academics. He wrote for everyone. And in doing so he used the most powerful academic vocabulary in the most natural, human, unforgettable way imaginable. Through literature. Come join me and I will show you how English literature will help you in your life.

I love reading, playing sports and billiards, swimming and camping. I love to go dancing and to the beach. I have been here on Cambly for over 10 years helping students to develop their English skills and I would like to help you as well.
